Beryl : Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈
	Paris, Oxford Co., Maine, USA 9.6 x 6.0 x 4.0 cm. Admittedly not the most beautiful "emerald" you have ever seen, but this is a rare (nowadays) old-timer green beryl from Maine! It is actually quite sharp and well-formed, with the termination intact on one end - and it does have some translucency as well. The crystal measures 4.5 cm.
